Asuka is one of the most popular members on Monday Night RAW’s women’s division, and she is a former RAW Women’s Champion. The Empress of Tomorrow was also one of the primary faces of the women’s division on RAW throughout the pandemic. Many fans didn’t like how Asuka was booked after losing the RAW Women’s Championship and they certainly notice her recent absence.
It was previously reported that Asuka was physically good to wrestle, but WWE wasn’t using her. She called out that report as false because it seems she was legitimately injured.
Asuka recently took to Twitter and uploaded a photo of herself on a poster of the hit television series, Breaking Bad, alongside the main character of the show, Heisenberg (Walter White).
She seemingly hinted at a massive heel turn in the same way Walter White went from an ordinary chemistry teacher to a drug kingpin. Asuka wasn’t part of the WWE Draft but is listed as a Monday Night RAW Superstar. We will have to wait and see if Asuka truly will return as a heel or not.
We’re not sure when Asuka will be back, but she’s either teasing a new meth cooker gimmick or just taking a turn to the dark side of the WWE roster. Either way, we’re here for anything as long as it gets Asuka back on television. She remained a free agent in the 2021 WWE Draft as well.
